Snapdragon 720 revealed, to bridge gap between sd 710 and sd 730

Qualcomm revealed in late February that it is developing a completely new line of SoCs called the Snapdragon 700 series. Their goal was to offer high-end features like custom DSPs and the Kryo architecture at a more affordable price, giving the cheapest devices specifications similar to those of a flagship. Today a new member of the family appears (not officially announced), the Snapdragon 720.

Snapdragon 720 would be a new Qualcomm option for mid-range phones

The first chip in the series, the Snapdragon 710, was revealed in May, and according to this leak, the Snapdragon 720 is the name of the next chip, and it will be around to bridge the gap between the Snapdragon 710 and the Snapdragon 730.

The source is a Chinese user from his Twitter account (MMDDJ), who has posted the model name SDM720 as a tweet, pointing to a possible future announcement of the Snapdragon 720. As mentioned above, the technical details of the chip. They have not been revealed in this leak, but it is logical to think that it was placed with specifications between SD710 and SD 730.

The Snapdragon 710 was manufactured using Samsung's 10nm LPE process and features a total of six Kryo 360 Silver cores operating at 1.70 GHz and two Kryo 360 Gold cores operating at 2.20 GHz. The chip also features an Adreno 616 GPU, Qualcomm's X15 LTE chipset, and support for AR and AI. The Snapdragon 720 could be manufactured with the same 10nm FinFET LPE architecture, but could be shipped with higher clock speeds to provide a performance gain over the Snapdragon 710.

Also, Snapdragon 720 can have an NPU, just like Snapdragon 730, while Snapdragon 710 relies on its GPU and digital signal processor for deep learning. However, it is also possible that the official name of the Snapdragon 730 turns out to be a Snapdragon 720, but since these are mere speculations at the moment, we want to take this information with tweezers for the time being.
